Esports Arena Rewind 2017, commonly refered to as Rewind LAN, is the 1st Team Fortress 2 competition at an Esports Arena event and will be divided into 2 main divisions, Invite and Open. The LAN is hosted by Esports Arena in Santa Ana, California from 21 January to 22 January 2017.[1]

The first 2 Invite teams, froyotech and Meat Market (former Circa eSports) were announced by b4nny on 1 December 2016, with at least 4 other teams joining them in the coming weeks.[2]

The original Invite prize pool provided by Esports Arena sits at $2000, but with sponsorship from Marketplace.TF,[3] now the prize pool for Invite is updated to $7000, with Esports Arena looking to raise the prize pool even higher through additional sponsors and crowd funding.[4]

Fundraisers

By December 2016, several fundraisers are being held in accordance to Rewind LAN.

Esports Arena's Rewind LAN prize pool crowdfunding is being held to further raise the amount of prize pool for the Invite and Open tournament. It is being run currently through YouStake and if a backer donated $1, YouStake will match the donation with another $1, bringing the prize pool up to an additional $10000, making the total a possible $17000.
